Zhan Bei Jue carried Gong Bei Bei into the elevator, pushed the limp person against the wall, and instructed Jiang Nan Fang.
"Close the door."
Hah. Bringing his girlfriend to a hotel and asking his ex-wife to close the door?
This man was truly something else.
Jiang Nan Fang rolled her eyes and closed the door, pressing the button for the 22nd floor.
Seeing no movement from the person behind them, who didn't come over to press the floor button themselves, she turned and glanced at the two of them.
"Which floor are you going to?"
Zhan Bei Jue was also going to the 22nd floor, so there was no need to say more.
Meeting Jiang Nan Fang's gaze, as if she had asked a question of utmost heresy, he calmly shifted his gaze aside.
Jiang Nan Fang instantly felt like she had been treated like a dog.
She was being nice enough to press the floor for him, and he wouldn't even acknowledge her?
If I ever speak to you proactively again, I'll be a dog!
It was cold, and her face felt uncomfortable pressed against the wall.
Gong Bei Bei mumbled, turned around, and tried to lean on Zhan Bei Jue.
"Ah Jue, I feel unwell, I'm so dizzy~"
"If you can't drink, then don't drink anymore." Zhan Bei Jue, as if afraid she would cling to him, took a step to the side, putting as much distance between them as possible.
"If you can't stand, sit on the ground. The elevator will arrive soon."
She's just a girl, and she's drunk like this. What's wrong with giving her a hand? Look at how disgusted he is.
Gong Bei Bei thought to herself: I don't believe it, even like this, I still can't get close to you! If I don't keep you here tonight, I'm not human!
The elevator quickly reached the 22nd floor.
Jiang Nan Fang walked out without looking back, went to her door, and swiped it open.
Her peripheral vision caught Zhan Bei Jue taking Gong Bei Bei to the room diagonally opposite hers.
Hah, her ex-husband taking his current girlfriend to spend the night diagonally opposite her. Was there anything more ironic in the world?
Fortunately, the copyright had already been sold. She could take the child and leave tomorrow.
She didn't care who he was with; out of sight, out of mind!
Jiang Nan Fang entered the room, put down her wontons, organized the 1.5 million from selling the copyright and 500,000 from the manga split, and sent a message to Zhou Jin Xiu.
"Give me an account with no limit. I'll transfer some money to you."
Zhou Jin Xiu had been cooped up at home for three days.
At this critical moment, his fair-weather friends were of no help at all.
Just as he was worrying about when he could see the light of day again, he received a message from Jiang Nan Fang.
His first reaction was disbelief.
He asked Jiang Nan Fang, "How much money are you giving me? Where did you get the money?"
"Three to five thousand wouldn't help me, forget it. Don't give me your living expenses; you need to live too."
The way she said it was quite considerate.
But he was overthinking it.
Was Jiang Nan Fang someone who lacked money?
"Don't worry, I've saved enough for living expenses. Stop talking nonsense, do you want to get out of here? Send it quickly."
At a time of urgent need, even a fly's leg was considered meat.
Zhou Jin Xiu could only reply, "Then consider it a loan."
A moment later, he received 2 million in his account.
Seeing this amount, Zhou Jin Xiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Although 2 million was not much to someone like him who had seen big scenes, the sender was Jiang Nan Fang...
A mere working person was actually so loyal.
"When I can get out, I'll arrange a few beautiful girls for you. Don't worry, today's favor won't be in vain."
Forget it, introducing girls to her? She was already annoyed enough.
Jiang Nan Fang thought to herself: Giving you 2 million, our accounts are settled. From now on, I can leave without any worries. Don't contact me, that's all.
She started eating and booked her flight, planning her return to Dan Country tomorrow.
Across the hall, Zhan Bei Jue dragged Gong Bei Bei into the room, tossed her onto the sofa, and turned to leave.
"Alright, you'll stay here tonight. Go back after you've sobered up. The children are waiting; I'll head back first."
"Don't, Ah Jue!" Gong Bei Bei quickly slid off the sofa and hugged his leg.
"I feel so unwell, I'm scared! Don't leave me here alone, please, stay and keep me company."
She was usually elegant and witty, leaving a good impression.
She didn't expect to become like this when drunk.
Seeing her clinging to him on the floor in this posture, Zhan Bei Jue felt a sense of broken illusion and genuine repulsion.
"Bei Bei, I've always seen you as a friend and a sister. We're adults, so have some self-respect."
Gong Bei Bei looked up, her face filled with sadness as she looked at him, "Is it because I'm not good enough, not beautiful enough, that you don't like me?"
"..."
"Have you ever thought about trying with me? Is it because I've had boyfriends that you don't consider me worthy?"
Zhan Bei Jue: "I haven't thought that far. If I don't like you, I don't like you; there are no extra conditions. Don't overthink it."
"But you haven't even tried with me, how do you know you won't like me?"
"Ah Jue, I'll be obedient. I can do whatever you like. Don't refuse me in a hurry, please give me a chance, okay?"
Zhan Bei Jue felt disgusted again. He couldn't reason with a drunkard and didn't want to resort to force.
Just as he was considering whether to call Lu Qing Xu to help, his phone vibrated.
He pulled it out and saw it was Ah Zhong calling.
"President Zhan, there's a problem with the new product," Ah Zhong's tone was very serious.
"The first batch of products shipped to Shen Cheng just arrived at the dock. During routine inspection when loading, we found damage to the product casing."
"The quality inspectors conducted tests, and out of ten samples, all ten had problems, far from meeting the standard requirements."
How could such a thing happen?
A new product that had just been launched, and the first batch sent to customers had such serious errors?
Zhan Bei Jue frowned, "How many products are there in total?"
"The total order is 20,000 units. Five thousand are being loaded, and the factory has one thousand five hundred remaining. I've had people check them, and the ones in the factory also don't meet the standards."
Damn Jiang Nan Fang. He knew she didn't have that much capability.
To allow such a huge loophole in the product!
It was all his fault for trusting her too much; this was a big problem now.
"Does Vice President Gao know about this? What does he say?"
"Vice President Gao's daughter had some trouble, so he took leave today to go to Jeju Island. He should still be on the plane, and his phone is unreachable."
"Immediately have someone retrieve the blueprints and conduct material analysis on the products to see which link went wrong. I'm going to the dock now."
"Understood, President Zhan." Ah Zhong hung up the phone.
Zhan Bei Jue lost all interest in lingering with Gong Bei Bei and unceremoniously pulled his foot out of her grasp.
"There's something going on at the company, I'm leaving. Don't throw a drunken tantrum. Someone will come to accompany you later."
Jiang Nan Fang had only eaten half of her wontons when the doorbell rang.
Before she could even ask who it was, Zhan Bei Jue's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Jiang Nan Fang, come out."
What a lunatic!
It was so late, and instead of being affectionate with his girlfriend in the room, why was he knocking on her door?
And his tone was so aggressive. What had she done to offend him now?
Jiang Nan Fang, holding her wontons, went to open the door while eating.
The door opened, and their eyes met. After two seconds, Zhan Bei Jue snatched the lunchbox from her hand.
"Still in the mood to eat? You glutton! There's a problem with the product, come with me."
"Hey, hey, hey, what's the rush? You can't even let me finish eating before dragging me out? It's so late, where are we going?"
Zhan Bei Jue grabbed her wrist, "To the dock! All the products you designed have problems, and we can't ship them to the customer!"
"Jiang Nan Fang, I knew you didn't have that much capability. I shouldn't have trusted you so much!"
"Delaying delivery and having to compensate the customer is a small matter. Because of you, Zhan's reputation has been damaged. Be careful, or I'll make you pay!"
